Go Red – Heart Month

Mortgage Burning Celebration!
What a powerful moment in the life of our church! We gathered with joy, gratitude, and praise as we officially burned the mortgage and celebrated God’s faithfulness through every season. This milestone is a testament to the generosity, commitment, and prayers of our church family—past and present. As we step into this new debt-free chapter, we’re excited for all that God has in store. The best is yet to come!

Trusting God with Every Day – Linda’s Story
My story is not profound, nor anything that thousands of other women have not faced.
In early 2020, I went to see my doctor with pain that I thought might be gall bladder related. He scheduled an abdominal ultrasound, and simply said, “while you’re there, you might as well get your annual mammogram, since it’s in the same building.” Pretty routine, and I wasn’t overly concerned since I hadn’t noticed any issues. “Sure, let’s do that.”
At this facility, you wait while the films get read by a doctor, and within a half hour, I was having an ultrasound on both breasts. Obviously, there was something there. I don’t know the medical jargon, but I remember the surgeon telling me later that the concern level was 4F. And surgery was scheduled for March 26th.
No one ever wants to hear the dreaded ‘C’ word, and sadly, cancer is more and more prevalent. It makes you stop and recognize your own mortality and the “what if’s” for every scenario. You think about your life – the people you want to see that live far away, the things you have yet to accomplish, the places you’ve fallen short.
It also makes you think about God – who He is in your life, how much you really depend on Him for everything, even every breath. The biggest realization I think I had was that I didn’t have to be afraid of any of it because God already has my days in His hands. He already knows how long I will live, and I can TRUST HIM with that – His plan for my life. And He will work out His plan in my life.

Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. Psalm 139:16 (NKJV)
Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.
Psalm 56:3 (NKJV)

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5, 6
Here is the story about my breast cancer experience and how God intervened in every step of the way. In April of 2010, I was 65 years old and experiencing some discomfort in my left breast, something I was familiar with before my change of life. I had had a mammogram in January with no abnormalities; but my family doctor felt I should have an ultra sound, just to be safe – miracle number one.
I went for my ultra sound in April and got the results about 10 days later. They had found a small lump near the center on my left breast. My surgeon said he did not know how the ultra sound technician found it, it was so very small – miracle number two.
The doctor did not feel it was a problem but sent me for a biopsy – miracle number three.
In early May, two days before my 66th birthday, I got the news. It was cancer. After a brief filling up with tears, I recognized how many miracles God had performed so far and I trusted God to get me through it, if that was His will. By the time things were set up, and a mastectomy done in July, the cancer had already metastasized to my lymph nodes. It was a very quick moving cancer. After several chemotherapy treatments and five-years of follow-up medication, I was free of cancer – miracle number four
This was 15 years ago and all I can say is our God is a God of miracles and healing.
Cast all your cares upon Him; for He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7
